FG fixes date to inaugurate governing councils of tertiary institutions
The Federal Government has scheduled the inauguration of Governing Councils for Federal universities, polytechnics, and other tertiary institutions for July 4, 2024.
This announcement follows concerns raised by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over the composition of the newly formed councils, which ASUU President Prof Emmanuel Osodeke criticized for being predominantly comprised of retired politicians rather than academic experts or professionals in relevant fields.
The reconstitution of these councils and boards, approved by President Bola Tinubu, aims to enhance the management of Nigeria’s tertiary institutions. Acting Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja, Prof. Aisha Maikudi, disclosed the inauguration date during her recent address assuming office.
